I've gotta give some credit to Garnett in this podcast though, it seems like he's the only one that isn't afraid to counter Dyack's points.
When Dyack speaks, he always sounds like he's trying to say something completely profound, even if its the basic observation that anonymous internet posting leads to people acting like assholes. And Garnett has not been afraid to just say in short term, "well, yeah, no shit."

So is this the official 1Up Yours podcast topic for this week? (now that the other one was locked)
Maybe I haven't been here long enough but I much rather read people's reactions to the games that were discussed then some moderately well known individual paying attention to my little corner of the internet

I'm not defending Dyack, I'm defending my write-up. I'll withhold my opinions on Dyack and the ideas he presented.
Dyack makes one decent point:
Unfortunately it's surrounded by a sea of totally illogical crazyness and is therefore moot.
Dude, I got this stupid tag for defending your game in the Wired thread, and now days later you're making bizarre indefensible statements that make absolutely no sense.
This game really better be good or I'm voting "AGAINST" next time...

C'mon Dennis, this shit is getting ridiculous. If your game is as good as you say it is, then let it do the talking for you rather than badly responding to so called attacks that will only prompt more. You are losing a lot of respect for very little good reason due to your recent antics.
:lol I really want to listen to the podcast now, but it's just past 5am here so I'll have to save it till later.
I just finished listening to the 1up Yours segment, and there just are no words. This is apparently the most Serious Business that has ever occurred to Denis. I can almost respect and understand what he's getting it, but I think someone in the other thread said it best, that this is like someone writing their master thesis about their trip to Starbucks that morning. It's just so bizarre how he can talk and think about stuff like this, but then he still comes back here to try to defend his game, make the for/against thread, etc. You would think that he would realize that it would be best to just get his game out, and let people judge it for themselves, and you'd only be seeing a tenth of what's occurring now. If the people who had made Lair and Haze were posting here before their games came out just like he is and was, there would have been the exact same blowback. You're being singled out like this as a direct response to what you're doing and continuing to do Denis, don't try to pull this high and mighty act.

I have no beef with Denis, I'm not a fan of the way GAF has treated him or his game, and I'm hoping his game is good.
Denis actually makes a few interesting points, and I feel for him, but all of his good points are lost in his sea of melodrama. He really takes this stuff to seriously. GAF is news mixed with entertainment. GAF hasn't treated him or his game fairly, but life isn't fair, and GAF certainly isn't fair. This isn't a place for even, fair discussion relating to videogames, as much as that might be cool to have somewhere.
Besides, society wouldn't collapse due to behavior on GAF. As people who participate in society, the way people act effects the way people behave on GAF. Besides, who really behaves the same way on GAF as in real life? There's a huge disconnect.

Dyack you compromised your game by removing puzzles and turning it into a hack n slash to suit the Xbox audience. You added Diablo loot to make it more familiar to PC gamers. The game has changed many times over the years, you compromise your dream and you take six-ten years to put out an unpolished product. You promise art and put out choppy animation.
Accountability?
Honestly, since you read this, I think you have a self esteem issue. The lack of accountability here is only a reflection of the lack of accountability in the industry. If you are so concerned about it then you should look at the bigger part of the pie, which NeoGaf simply is not.
